Half of participants will receive Project HEART and half of participants will receive Project Growing Minds, an attention-matched control website focused on growth mindsets of intelligence and self-regulation. The ultimate goal of this work is to help girls reduce their risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases and to avoid unplanned pregnancies.
